Survivors of a Colorado school shooting walked out of a vigil for their slain classmate Wednesday night in protest of politicians and other groups using it as a platform for gun control, a local report said.
The students from STEM High School, where two gunmen killed a student and wounded eight others Tuesday, began yelling from the stands that they “wanted to be heard” after two politicians and pro-gun control advocates addressed the crowd, according to the local NBC affiliate, KUSA.
They then stormed out of the vigil after Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet and Democratic Congressman Jason Crow addressed the crowd, the Denver Post reported.
They are overplaying their hand as usual.
It wasn't just the two Dem politicians (including the one opportunist throwing his hat into the presidential ring). Members of Mothers Demand Action were there, chanting, along with members of a local affiliate of the Brady Bunch, prompting the Brady Bunch to issue an apology.
As one of the mourners said as he was leaving, they all treated the victim as a "prop," while others were there to mourn.
That is true, but still, the argument people were using was that the group took over, when in reality, they created it.
Well, I guess MADD could host a happy hour to lure some people to preach to.
